Summer Solstice Wild Plant Walk (Burnsville, NC)
Saturday, June 19 • 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
(Rain Date Sunday, June 20)
High Pastures Retreat Center, Burnsville, NC
Sliding Scale $45-95
Pre-registration required
*Though the walk is at a Christian Retreat Center, The WANDER School and the event aren't affiliated with any religion.
It's that transition time between seasons, making it a perfect time to catch the end of the spring plants and the beginning of the summer plants! Wander the biodiverse habitats of High Pastures in Burnsville, NC, with Botanist, Herbalist, and Forager, Abby Artemisia. We'll walk through open, sunny areas (a great place to get to know common weeds), woodland, and you'll even get to check out a little waterfall!
You'll learn how to identify wild edibles and herbs, along with how to process and preserve them.
Abby will also have her book, The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders, and her Appalachian herbal wildcrafted products for sale.
